<andrea6192001nospam@xxxxxxxxx> Huffed and Puffed the following into
the madness of usenet:

It's real nice of you to offer those strips. I use OneTouch Ultra
strips and so does my boyfriend. Between us we can get a lot more
strips than we need and have 12 boxes of them on hand. We each get 8
boxes every 3 months from our insurance.

Your right about testing a lot. I have been testing before and
usually
2-3 times after meals. This has all my fingers sore and I'll have to
cut down on the tests if they get any worse.

Glad that's not an issue. ask your doc about alternate sight
testing.
my pump came with a lancing device that helps get samples from
alternate sights. It is designed to help draw the sample up to the
skin so I can use the heel of my hands. Gives the fingers a rest.


I went to the doctor today, it was a conference with my endo and OB.
They both agreed that I need to gain body fat. They say it is below
12% and could be an added risk in the pregnancy. They backed off
some
on the carbs, but still want me to keep them at 70+ per meal.


I can understand their concerns. I've seen high risk pregnancies in
women who were seriously under weight due to bad lifestyles. They
were at much greater risk than you and they had healthy kids when
they
did what they were told to do.


They told me to plan on going in the hospital at 25 weeks for a
delivery at 32-34 weeks. If preterm labor starts there will be a
much
better chance to stop it if I am already at the hospital. Spending
over a month in the hospital is not something I am looking forward
to
but if it means getting a healthy baby it will be worth it. I will
be
seeing the OB next for a full examination and further instructions.

well you look at this way, 1st you are getting a mandatory vacation.
No-one in their right mind is gonna hassle you over it. Enjoy it for
all it's worth. 2nd, you're definitely stocking up for this kids
future. If you were Jewish or Catholic you could start rehearsing
now
for when the kid hits puberty, "a month of agony in the hospital for
this!?, why do you do this to your poor mother?" Trust me, I am sure
a Buddhist mother has her version of this, "I went through hell for
over a month in the hospital to spare you from this Karma, and this
is
what I get?"


It's easy to say, and harder to do, but try not to worry so much
about
what is not right in front of you. Be prepared for it, get your
paperwork and everything in order so that you can check into the
hospital when the time comes, but don't focus on it and worry about
it. Stress is unhealthy too, take care of what is right in front of
you. Make everyone else in your life stress out instead.


There is no doubt, stress is my biggest enemy. I've never been able to
handle stress, and I can only prey it will not become a self
fulfilling prophecy.

I think going in the hospital will actually be less stressful than
staying home. I'll feel more secure there and know that help will be
close by if I need it.

I've started testing on the second joint. I always test on the sides
and even have been using my thumbs. It hurts a lot more on the second
joint but it almost doubles the available test sites. My boyfriend
talked me into soaking my fingers in salt water, I think it did help.
